I agree that my UI suggestion be overdoing it a tad...as an administrator, I
tend to like lots of options :)
As an alternative, I suggest that the print dialog should be changed to remember
the previously selected state for collate, for all users, and start off with
collate unchecked (OFF) for new installs, since that it is the safest setting
for all situations. Everyone will get what they want and need. Those irritated
with the old behavior of it always reverting to uncollated will only have to
check it once. Those who don't know the difference, don't care, or won't mess
with it, will have a default that does not cause problems for page printers.
Then for further refinement or lockdown, give options in the configuration file
entry for the site administrator that could turn it off and/or hide it.
I don't think having only a config file without changing the print dialog
default behavior is good enough, since that presupposes that sites (and even end
users) know there is the problem to begin with. For example, I didn't discover
the problem until after implementation was already completed and OO 3.0/1 rolled
out to users because I never thought to test multiple copies of large documents.
It never occurred to me that OO would send hundreds of identical 50MB print
jobs when collation used to work fine with collate "off". After the network
became saturated and server and end-user performance suffered, only then did I
discover it... (and had absolutely no way to fix it).
Whatcha think? A reasonable compromise?
